I have a question.

Twistedseer, since you said that you're not an oracle, is there any reason why your answer to any question is any more valid or accurate than anyone else's answer?

??

Ok, first "I'm not an Oracle" but I am capable of answering
any question you could ask of one.

But to fully answer your question, what an Oracle is or is not has been corrupted

which is why I posted this

Questions like

Prove you are an Oracle?

Or what is an Oracle?

Or how do Oracles "Oracle"?

are the way to go.

Sorry, I don't like the way this thread is going. This is bald assertion (or worse, unintelligble garble), not well developed philosophical discourse, and so does not meet the philosophy forum guidelines.
